A memo to Brian Coleman - Strikebreaking is nothing new

As we've seen pickets, strikebreakers and chants of scabs at NLBP, I found this intriguing clip of strikebreakers in action at Mill Hill Gasworks, during the general strike of 1926

If you go the the very end, is that a Young Councillor John Hart, on the right of the picture?

Quite odd really. I don't think we'll see our Brian Coleman acting as a Coalman any time soon though, do you?

And you can see Mill Hill's new Observatory HERE, currently scanning the sky for Souperman's return to his Hendon constituency. (That's why it's called an observe-a-tory. Please yourself.)
